how to remove pest snails - Page 2

just take note, i read at some books that when the snail population doesn't fill the puffer, they'll start to take some smaller fishes, e.g guppy fries.

what a friend of mine did, he removed all the smaller fishes he has and put them into a pail with filter for a few days, then he bought a puffer and send it in for 1 week, after the spring cleaning, he actually gave the puffer back to the shop keeper.

maybe we should have a puffer that we can pass around and clear the snails that develop xD
